Hello im new here on this forum i would like if you guys could rate my team in white 2

My team consists of
Serperior
Nature Timid

Arcanine
Nature Quiet Jolly or Timid. Depends on what you want him to do, physical moves for Jolly and special moves for timid.

Krookodile
Nature Adamant

Braviary
Nature Brave Adamant nature or Jolly. More attack the better, so Adamant may be the better choice.

Aggron
Nature Impish Adamant. You want Adamant. This thing is devastatingly powerful with rock head as well. No recoil from head smash with massive attack should destroy everything. Sturdy could help you if you worry about being knocked out before landing a hit that is comparable to a nuclear bomb.

Starmie
Nature Modest

You have some that have good natures. Such as the Starmie, Krookodile, and Serperior.
However, the Arcanine, Braviary, and Aggron could be better. Quiet boosts special attack and lowers speed, one main aspect of Arcanine. Brave boosts attack but lowers speed, obviously not as important but it may not be that good. Impish is for defense.
The natures are all really good, but it can be done better for the 3 of them, as having a good amount of speed is nice to hit them before going down.

Welcome to the forums as well. If you have any troubles you can just message somebody who is online. Last time I remember, people online are shown at the bottom.

Samurott is my starter and Braviary is there because in Black I couldn't catch it. For the others, these are Pokémon that I could/didn't took in the other generations.

Mismagius - I caught it in HGSS, I trade it in Black, I reproduce it and I trade it into White 2. I took it because I had only Pokémon Diamond, wich is the version of Murkrow, and not Misdreavus.
Jumpluff - I caught it in the Dream World of Black, I reproduce it and I trade it into White 2. I took it because I had already a Grass Type Pokémon in HeartGold (Meganium, my starter).
Floatzel - I caught it in White 2. I took it because I has already a Water Type in Diamond (Empoleon, my starter).
Gliscor - I caught it in White 2. I took because, in every game, his evolution is impossible to get (the Razor Fang is to hard to get). And I like it too.

Flare Blitz has awesome STAB, Wild Charge/Thunder fang covers water weakness but it could be risky to have 2 recoil moves on the same set, Extremespeed is flipping awesome, Outrage is the same as previous and has 2-3 attacks for 1pp. Crunch is coverage.

... well, actually at the moment I have a Dewott, a Whirlipede and a Trapinch, but they'll evolve eventually.

I haven't don't the fourth Gym yet because I've been trying to catch an Eevee to evolve into Jolteon, but it's tough going. I've caught eight Eevees and have yet to get a Timid or Modest one. The best I've got at the moment is Mild, and I'm almost out of Pokeballs, money and patience.

So now I'm torn: should I go do the fourth Gym, get some more money and Pokeballs and come back to Castelia Gardens to continue my quixotic quest for the perfect Jolteon? Should I evolve the Mild one, given that Jolteon has terrible Defence anyway and it won't make that much difference? Or should I fill the sixth slot with a different Pokemon altogether?

You appear to really want eevee so you could still try, buy 12 castelia cones and sell them to the maid in route 5 (I think) for a profit of around $10000.
Getting a high Pokestar rank and then consistently do Brycen-man film for a strange ending and selling all the items you get from fans (mainly nuggets and star pieces) can net awesome cash. Don't give up! (Yet...)

I didn't either of those things, thank you! Having an efficient way of making money will certainly make it easier to persist with my Eevee hunt.

Frustrating as it is sometimes, I do appreciate a Pokemon more when I've really had to work for it. I think I'll go make some movies and then keep trying.

Just so y'know the strange ending on the first Brycen-man is the use a non-damaging/move that doesn't KO the enemy for the first move. You'll end the script in One turn and only have to watch a short film.

Finally got a Modest one! It was the fifteenth one I caught, and I evolved it into a Jolteon before I even left Castelia Gardens and took it back to the Pokemon centre to heal up. I think the last time I put that much effort into catching something it was Mewtwo.

The funny part is, while I was waiting for a good potential Jolteon, I caught four Adamant Eevees. (And no, I didn't have a Pokemon with Synchronise in the party messing up the percentages. It was as if the game was mocking me by giving me the exact opposite of what I was looking for.) I have no idea what I'm going to do with four Adamant Leafeons.

I don't know what to add to the team and I feel like I'm kinda late with the building process because I'm going to the fifth gym with only three Pokémon. I really wanted a Litwick but I don't know when I will be able to catch it so I still have two free spots on my team. My version is Black 2 and I caught the Mandibuzz which is located on the Desert Resort. I might use it since I need to move around cities with fly but I'm not sure if it's good =/
Please give me suggestions to complete my team a little bit more because I'm sure I won't be able to beat the new Gym like this and I don't want to move on before I get one more Pokémon u.u

Forgoing anything before nimbasa city, I would recommend Heracross (Exclusive to Black 2) and Chandelure (Litwick comes after Gym 5 in the Celestial Tower). If you don't want to work for Chandelure, you can get sigilyph back in the Desert resort.

Heracross would be useful (along with Azumarill) for fighting excadrill, and Chandelure is another special attacker which you really need. Fire/Ghost coverage is great because Fire is good neutral coverage (Fire blast for a powerhouse move), and Ghost for the Psychic/Ghost E4. It also can use Energy Ball / Psychic for some extra coverage. That said, Chandelure works great with an expert belt.

There are 2 expert belts before the elite four. Heracross and Chandelure can use them and almost sweep through the E4 on their own, except maybe fighting. The rest of your team are good neutral fighters.

Lastly, Heracross can beat Hydreigon in 1v1, in my experience. At a high enough level, it takes a fire blast and hits back with close combat.

Adding Heracross and Chandelure gives your team 3 weaknesses to fire, but Chandelure absorbs fire and Azumarill resists it. As for a 6th teammate, I would personally just use an HM slave to make your run easier, but that's up to you.

should i use pinsir or vespiquen? i just caught both of them in lostlorn forest and i cant decide which one to use. my other party members are servine and umbreon if it makes a difference.

I'd choose Pinsir. Vespiquen's offensive and Speed stats just don't cut it. Pinsir, on the other hand, has slightly less bulk but better speed and way more Attack. Pinsir's movepool is also the better one.

Umbreon... I'm not sure how useful it actually is in-game, since it's meant to be a wall / staller which you don't use that often in-game.

I've got my team in my signature. I'm planning to push them all to about Level 55 before taking on the Elite 4. This is my first playthrough of Black 2 so I was hoping to find out where you all think I stand? Any glaring weaknesses? I found the Elite 4 easy in White, so I want to make sure I'm not biting off more than I can chew in Black 2.
